Since I am working on Linux only, don't expect an unbiased |answer from me. Without the shared libraries, I don't think 386bsd will |have any real performance edge over Linux. BTW, if you are doing FP |stuff, Linux may be better for you. What have shared libraries to deal with better performance ? Ok you get significant smaller code. And that can prevent a system from being swapping or paging. But the code isn't that fast as statically linked code. because the shared memory organisation in the kernel produces some overhead when running processes. Or did I misunderstand something ?
